The Art of 64-bit Assembly
↗
Engineers who work close to the metal—on runtime internals, debuggers, or performance-critical paths—will find concrete explanations of how Windows actually implements vtables, SEH, and synchronization primitives rather than idealized descriptions. The book targets practitioners who want to stop taking high-level language abstractions on faith and understand what the machine is really doing.

The book reconstructs OOP constructs like vtables, method dispatch, and inheritance entirely in MASM, showing what Windows conventions require at the instruction level.
Chapters cover Windows structured exception handling, coroutines, generators, fibers, and concurrent programming with real synchronization primitives, all implemented directly in assembly.
